and good morning, america. hello to robin and josh down in new orleans. great to have amy robach back. boy, what a game. 4:14. the longest super bowl ever. first time two brothers went head to head. lots of records being made. it could also be the most exciting game ever, especially for the fans in baltimore. look at them. thousands in the streets celebrating all night long. >> wow, it was not just a battle on the field but a battle of the ads. two of the big ones, budweiser's heartwarming clydesdale ad and the taco bell ad. we have the ones we liked the most. >> hard not to shed a tear at the clydesdale one. >> so cute.

you were pulled in many different ways with commercials. what an amazing weekend for robin. such an emotional welcome in her hometown of pass christian. her family there. you can see them for a big super bowl party. how great is it to see her cheering on the team. >> sam was there for the start of it. it looked like so much fun. >> that town was wild. >> and it was wild last night. we see josh, did you get any sleep last night? >> sleep, i've heard of this thing that you call sleep, george. a few minutes. the game, it feels like it just ended. i still can't believe what we saw and didn't see. great play on the field. great performances by beyonce and alicia keys and jennifer hudson and the sandy hook choir. all setting the scene for an emotional face-off between the teams and the brothers harbaugh. it might just be the most

memorable game in nfl history. fair to say it lived up to its hype. it was the singular moment of super bowl xlvii. a third-quarter power surge that darkened half the stadium for more than 35 minutes. it led to a surge by the 49ers. >> in for the touchdown! >> reporter: still, when confetti fell from the rafters, it was the ravens winning a second super bowl triumph. the drama started early. the harbaugh parents, jack and jackie, took their seats to watch sons john and jim become the first brothers to face each other in the super bowl as coaches. then the sandy hook elementary choir sang with jennifer hudson, "america the beautiful." ♪ o beautiful >> reporter: before alicia keys belted a memorable national anthem. ♪ the land of the free

>> reporter: baltimore dominated play early. scoring 21 points in the first 28 minutes. >> and a touchdown! anquan boldin! >> reporter: and by halftime, it looked like the game would be a blowout. then it was beyonce blowing off the roof, turning in an electrifying halftime performance before an electrical overload blew out the lights. when play resumed, the 35-minute delay seemed to shift momentum in san francisco's favor. the 49ers came nearly all the way back from a 22-point deficit, closing to within a touchdown in the final moments of the game. but san francisco would fall just short, losing 34-31. it was jim congratulating older brother john, as the brothers harbaugh reunited on the field. it was a first super bowl win for michael oher, whose story we all saw in the book and the movie, "the blind side."

after the confetti has fallen -- what is it like? >> from nothing to a super bowl champion, i'm in shock right now. >> oh, we won the super bowl! >> reporter: and a second ring for ray lewis in what he has said would be the final game of a 17-year career. >> baltimore, we're coming home, baby! we did it! >> reporter: just how much did the blackout affect the game's outcome? i spoke with my former colleagues, mike greenberg, mike golic, of "mike and mike in the morning" on espn radio and espn2, for more on that. let's be honest, 35 of the strangest minutes in super bowl history last night. >> yeah, and awful. obviously. in every possible way, awful. what i'm really glad for is that if the 49ers won the game, it would be much more of a story. you're going to hear how the momentum was taken away from the ravens.

i would have said, shame on them. you're in the super bowl, if you can't figure out a way -- the clock stopped for both teams. if you can't find way to get yourself back and playing again after a half-hour delay in the super bowl, when can you? this way, it's not the overwhelming story. >> at that point, all the ravens going, oh, no. and all the 49ers going, thank god there's a break. that's how it started. greeny's right. at the end of it, you can't let that affect the outcome. kudos to san fran for coming back. i was impressed with baltimore's play, especially joe flacco. >> as we walked off the field, he said, i really thought things like that weren't supposed to happen in the super bowl. what did happen last night is he became a very, very rich man. >> that's exactly right. he made a bet on himself before the season. for those who don't know, he turned down a contract extension, essentially betting on himself. obviously, he comes up with blackjack right there.

he'll wind up becoming one of the richest players in the nfl, and deservedly so. but it was the quarterback on the other team, for those who don't watch football all the time, who showed you what the future of football is going to look like. the dynamic athlete brought his team back to the brink of winning a championship. we'll see him again. i think it's the other quarterback will wind up being as good as anybody in the sport. >> we always rush to apply superlatives and legacy to what we see in our super bowls. for my money, last night, may be the most memorable game played in nfl history. what do you guys, though, make of what we saw last night here in new orleans? >> well, obviously, the power outage will be a huge part of that story. that will contribute to it. you don't normally get a championship game with a delay like that. the comeback, yes. i think it's too soon to say it's the greatest super bowl ever played. but memorable, yes. >> memorable with the blackout and the 49ers coming back.

when the game can come down to a goal-line stand for a future hall of famer on defense, the last time he'll be on the field in ray lewis, that's got to be memorable. >> let's say, if nothing else, they backed into something of a classic, guys. great to see you. thanks for joining us this morning. and so -- speaking of joe flacco, a rich young man and the ravens mvp quarterback. he'll join us live today a bit later in the program. that's now it from here in new orleans. back to you, george. >> thank you, josh. we're going to switch gears now to that shocking killing of legendary s.e.a.l. chris kyle. he was gunned down at a shooting range over the weekend. the man arrested was a troubled former marine whom kyle was trying to help. ryan owens has more from dallas. >> reporter: we're told that the young suspect idolized the man, chris kyle. so many people did.

he was an american hero who survived so much at war, only to be gunned down here at home. >> i love the job. you know, the guys, the camaraderie. >> reporter: chris kyle knew the toll combat takes more than anyone. he served four tours in iraq. won seven medals for his bravery. killed more of the enemy than any sniper in u.s. military history. he talked about that transition from war to home just weeks ago. to the website guns.com. >> you don't have an identity. you have to learn a whole new way to act. >> reporter: kyle volunteered to help vets suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. police believe that he was trying to counsel 25-year-old eddie ray routh at a gun range over the weekend. >> the suspect's mother may have reached out to mr. kyle to help her son. that might be why they were at the range for some type of therapy.

>> reporter: but detectives said that shoot practice turned deadly saturday when the young former marine snapped. turning his gun on the sniper he reportedly idolized. allegedly shooting him and his friend, 35-year-old chad littlefield, at point-blank range. police say he then stole kyle's pickup truck and led police on a chase. >> tap. rack. >> reporter: kyle could hit targets the length of 21 football fields away. he found success at home, too. he was a best-selling author. in his autobiography, he writes about killing so many iraqi insurgents they nicknamed him the devil and put a $20,000 bounty on his head. but the 38-year-old said that his biggest accomplishment was being a husband and father to his two young children. >> 95% divorce rate on the teams. i made it out with my wife, so

it's -- we're doing great now. >> reporter: this morning, that young former marine, the suspect, is being held on $3 million bail. george, he'll be charged with two counts of capital murder. one for each of the men who were trying to help him. george? >> thanks, ryan. i'm here now with scott mcewen who wrote "american sniper" and with chris's friend, who trained chris to be a sniper. i'm so sorry for your loss. >> thank you, george. >> reporte >> scott, you wrote that chris wasn't killed on the battlefield. but you believe he gave his life to his country. >> he devoted so much of his life to helping wounded and injured military, individuals returning from war. >> and that was such a big part of who he was. >> i think chris had a difficult time transitioning from military life to civilian life himself. i think that was a big reason why he cared so much about helping other veterans.

we have a big issue with ptsd these days. here's a guy that had, was very successful shortly after he got out of the s.e.a.l. teams and could have done anything he wanted. he chose to still give a large part of his time to these veterans' causes. >> in "american sniper" he is quite opened about his own difficulties to reentry. >> it was important for chris to show there was a light at the end of the tunnel. if you look to the light and work to get yourself out of these ptsd scenarios you get yourself in, you move yourself and get healthy again. >> and coming off his time in iraq, whihc is just unparalleled, four tours, seven medals. more than 150 kills. you helped train chris. did you know from the start that he was something special? >> you know, we all knew chris was a special guy.

very humble, to this -- to the time he got out. he didn't really want to publicize the number of kills that -- it was all about the lives that he saved in iraq. and helping veterans, raising awareness around the veterans issues. >> and if any possible good can come of this, it's shining the light on the problems of veterans right now. >> a lot of guys like chris are taking the issue in their own hands and making a difference. guys slip through the cracks. >> what is the one thing you want everyone to know about your friend? >> i think chris would want to say a prayer not only for his children but other children of veterans that need help as well, in similar circumstances. it's what he's found himself in here. >> we lost a true american hero. >> and they all are in our prayers today. thank you both very much. amy? george, it's day seven in the terrifying hostage standoff in alabama where a 5-year-old

boy is being held captive in a bunker by this man, jimmy lee dykes. the fbi has been negotiating with him. abc's gio benitez has been on this story from the beginning and joins us from midland city, alabama, with the latest. gio snshgs. >> reporter: amy, good morning. today the question, when will this little boy with autism be let go? police say he's not been physically harmed. this morning, drones like this are flying over the homemade underground bunker where police say this man, jimmy lee dykes, is holding a 5-year-old boy named ethan hostage. it has now been seven days since the 65-year-old stormed a school bus here in midland city, threatening the students on board before killing the driver and kidnapping ethan. >> he's like, i'll kill y'all. >> reporter: despite days of negotiations, police admit they have little to go on. few demands, no motive.

no sense of when the standoff may end. >> it gives them more time to study the bunker. does he have any explosives? has he booby trapped the door? >> reporter: dykes is holding the boy in a remote part of southern alabama. they've been communicating with him through a ventilation pipe that leads to the bunker. they've used to it send the child comfort items -- a red hot wheels car, coloring books, potato chips, medicine, cheez-its. over the weekend, a press conference to thank the hostage taker. >> i want to thank him for taking care of our child. that's very important. >> reporter: meantime, late sunday, this tight-knit community buried bus driver chuck poland, who died protecting children of dykes. >> ethan, hang tough little man. we love you. we're praying for you. >> reporter: and little ethan's birthday is quickly approaching. he turns 6 in just a few days.

amy? >> all right, gio. poor ethan and his parents. we certainly hope for a good outcome there. let's go to josh for the other stories this morning. josh, good morning. good morning, again, amy. we begin with breaking news. overnight out of southern california. at least eight people have died and dozens more are injured after a tour bus crashed. flipped, slammed into a truck on a remote highway some 80 miles east of los angeles. the bus was returning to tijuana, mexico. from the big bear resort area. the driver of the bus told police that there had been a problem with the bus' brakes. and overseas, a major development in the nuclear standoff with iran. the iranian foreign minister says his country is willing to resume talks over its nuclear program later this month, ending eight months of stalled negotiations. however, u.s. officials remain skeptical of the offer. a rare sight in cuba. take a look.

former dictator fidel castro showing up at the polls on sunday to vote in the national election. the 86-year-old spent about an hour chatting with voters, his first such public appearance since 2010. meanwhile in london, police are trying to figure out why a man broke through a security line outside buckingham palace. you see him there waving two knives, holding one to his throat. police finally able to subdue him with a taser gun. he's expected in court later today. also this morning, scientists confirm that remains found under a parking lot in england are, in fact, those of king richard iii, who died in battle some 500 years ago. dna tests prove that the skeleton is that of the so-called hunch-back king, known for his cruelty. a church had once stood on the location. finally, the daughter of boxing legend muhammad ali said that her father is doing just fine.

in fact, to knock down tabloid reports that his health is failing, the family showed the greatest rooting on his ravens during the super bowl last night. and like the ravens themselves, he is one happy champ this morning, guys. >> okay, josh, thank you very much. sam is in your seat with the weather. >> a little bit of a food coma still from last night. let's get to the video. we'll show what's going on. we got some pictures of minneapolis snow. this is the week of small, quick-moving snowmakers. they drop out of canada and move into the northeast, we call them clippers. chicago, earlier this morning, is picking up snow. that could be 5 inches of snow locally. several more come through the week. the quick-moving storm systems. washington, a little north of you. boston, most of it is south of you. the rest of the country on this warm trend. look at this. new orleans, 69, houston 74, las vegas, 64 degrees. we'll go through the rest of the
